Elon Musk, describes the concept for a
. . . High Density–Passenger Urban Transport Vehicle (Mini-Bus).
“With the advent of autonomy,
. . .it will probably make sense to shrink the size of buses, and
. . . transition the role of bus driver,
. . . to that of fleet manager.
Traffic congestion would improve,
. . . due to increased passenger areal density,
. . . by eliminating the center aisle,
. . . by putting seats where there are currently entryways, and
. . . matching acceleration, and braking to other vehicles,
.. . thus avoiding the inertial impedance to smooth traffic flow,
. . . of traditional heavy buses.

It would also take people all the way to their destination.
. . . Fixed summon buttons at existing bus stops,
. . . would serve those who don’t have a phone.
The Design accommodates:
. . . . . . Wheelchairs,
. . . . . . Strollers, and
. . . . . . Bikes.
